I met Svart maybe in 17 or 18, and to be honest I had a positive impression of her. But I have to say that it was by comparison. She was at an event where the NPC was at and that was a particularly dramatic NPC (I think it was the Fetonte year). That one meeting was her being to the point and pragmatic while all these other dweebs were acting like it was the Finland Station in 2017. And honestly, after going through these last 4-5 years I'd be over it and looking for ways to enrich my friends as well.

I'm trans so whenever I go to a place like a DSA meeting it's not super uncommon for other trans people to come up to me just to say hello. Anyway one time I went for several meetings in a row and I was approached by a trans woman who hadn't really gotten very far in her transition and who just looked like a fat goon. (There's nothing morally wrong with looking like this I'm just not that interested in fat goons.) She ran her local chapter of the socialist gun club so she immediately started talking to me about various firearms. She had bad breath and smelled like body odor and mold - it wasn't super intense but when she got close to me and started speaking with me I could smell her. She asked me for my discord username and got super excited because we were in a couple mutual discords so she started messaging me a lot.

I'm sort of shy and emotionally cut off so most of my replies were just "okay" and "oh that's cool! " In hindsight she was trying to flirt with me which just meant that she would send me pictures of her various guns and pictures of her racing cars. Like she would rent racecars at a track and take them for a spin it was her special hobby. I am, maybe, a little interested in firearms but I'm not really interested in racecars but I didn't let her know that. I just sorta went along with it. I'm a little passive and at the time I was stoned almost all the time so I wasn't exactly quick on my feet. She used to say hon and sweetie a lot which I found super offputting. When I was a lot younger I was bullied all the time which made me super averse to kicking people out of my social circle and later on I learned I should never, ever, do when interacting with people. The messages that she sent me got more and more common. Like she was sending me texts at three in the morning. Eventually she just sent me pictures of herself topless and she suggested that we move in together. She was sorta built like chris chan (big chest, fat) albeit shorter and hairier. This is when she crossed a major line with me so I told her to stop contacting me and I blocked her. Did I mention that I'm already dating someone? I'm already dating someone. I just thought she wanted to be friends but she didn't. Some people think that any positive contact at all is flirting.

Some days later she used the DSA mailing list to email me a couple paragraphs about how I was manipulative and a liar and she told me never to contact her ever again. I still go the the DSA sometimes and she always gives me the stink eye. I don't know if she still smells. I haven't gotten close enough to her to find out.

I suggested years ago that dsa members shouldn't be allowed to date each other and everyone yelled at me, but I still stand by it, we need to be out there dicking down/getting dicked down by apolitical people, the feds Honeypot people constantly to get more agents/assets, dsa isn't playing to win.

No to Chinese Authoritarianism, No to “Yellow Peril”
JANUARY 20, 2020 by PROMISE LI


The People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s rise in recent decades has confounded the Western left. Touted as the great economic miracle of the twentieth century, the PRC lifted hundreds of millions out of ‘extreme poverty’ only to plunge them into deeper class stratification, economic precarity, and exploitation. We’ve watched as the neo-colonial Belt and Road project colludes with the likes of the IMF and the World Bank to leave the structures of debt imperialism intact from Western governments in countries in Africa, Central and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Beijing state media openly prides itself on borrowing from Western governments’ Islamophobic techniques against millions of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, as government surveillance and policing separate ‘good’ from ‘bad’ Muslims, straight from the United States’ murderous playbook.

“Taiwan has seen thousands of years of settlement” by the “original residents of Taiwan”: its indigenous peoples. They in particular would reject any notion that their home is a natural extension of the modern Chinese nation-state. 

we should also recognize that Taiwan is not likely to be the site of a future invasion of the mainland. 

I was surprised to learn from Hioe that the United States had in fact attempted to swing the election of 2012 in the KMT’s favor, suspicious of the current DPP’s government’s policies. To thus say that the current Taiwanese government remains a pawn of U.S. schemes against China fails to convey the discrepancies between U.S. aims and the DPP

 a failure to recognize the contest between the United States and China as an imperial one in and of itself misses the point: we must collaborate across borders to resist imperialism and aggression in whatever form it manifests itself in.

Not going to take a side on the "date/not date" debate, but I have to say that when numbers took off there 100% was a significant contingent of dudes who were very much "it's ok for me to creep on much younger women because Im one of the good ones with the right politics"
